AutoHotKey (AHK), Capture2Text Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Subtitles in Minecraft for AFK fishing despite the 1.16 nerf.
No redstone is needed, but a Mending fishing rod is recommended.
Download and install AutoHotkey .
Download and extract Capture2Text 3.9 .
Download the McFishy script.
Open the script in a text editor, and change the paths for Capture2Text.exe and ocr.txt . Variable names are FullC2TPath and FullOCRPath .
Ensure Subtitles are turned on in Minecraft (Options... Accessibility Settings... Show Subtitles: ON).
Open Minecraft 1.16.2 or later.
Run the McFishy script as Administrator . A sound plays when McFishy starts.
Click on Minecraft so it's the active window.
Cast your rod in open water .
Right-click sends to Minecraft when OCR reads "Fish " in the OCR box, and again after 4.5 seconds to recast.
Press ALT SHIFT F to start OCR. Drag a box around the subtitles area. A sound plays when OCR starts.
Press ALT SHIFT Q to stop OCR. A sound plays when OCR stops. Start again with ALT SHIFT F if desired.
Press ALT SHIFT X to exit McFishy . A sound plays when McFishy exits.
IMPORTANT! The box must be big enough for the subtitle "Fishing Bobber splashes " on any line.
IMPORTANT! The box must not be too big, or OCR will be slow and fish can get away. Focus on the word "Fish " when drawing the box.
IMPORTANT! Can run in background, but subtitles must be visible . Other windows or screensavers covering subtitles will make OCR fail.
AutoHotKey listens for hotkeys.
AutoHotKey then runs Capture2Text.exe .
Capture2Text.exe reads subtitles in the dragged box.
Capture2Text.exe writes subtitles to ocr.txt .
AutoHotKey checks ocr.txt for the word Fish .
If found, AutoHotKey sends right-clicks to Minecraft .
